Case Study: Wirespeed reduces false positives and achieves sub-second threat verdicts with IPinfo

How Wirespeed revolutionized cybersecurity automation using IPinfo's precise data APIs

Wirespeed, a next-generation managed detection and response provider, was struggling with the high rate of false positives from its automated threat detection, particularly for impossible travel alerts. This was caused by the unreliability of its existing IP geolocation data from major security providers, which was often inaccurate by entire states or countries. The challenge was to find a more accurate data source to make its cybersecurity automation viable and eliminate alert fatigue.

By integrating IPinfo's Privacy and Geolocation APIs, Wirespeed’s platform gained high-fidelity location data and crucial privacy insights. This allowed them to automate the detection of suspicious logins with unprecedented accuracy. The solution from IPinfo resulted in a dramatic reduction in false positives and enabled Wirespeed to achieve a mean time to verdict of under one second, revolutionizing their ability to stop threats in real time.
